Hi, I sent this to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" too, but I'm not 
sure I'm able to. Anyway, I send it to this list too.

Note that I have allready updated the maildrop package in the Cooker contribs:

- 1.3.8

Subject: [Qmail-scanner-announce] ANNOUNCE: Bug found in maildrop - please 
upgrade!
Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2002 09:34:56 +1200
From: Jason Haar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

A bug has been found in maildrop that affects reformime - which is used by
Qmail-Scanner and other Email content-scanners to unpack attachments.

The bug causes reformime to corrupt binary attachments under certain
specific conditions - which of course means that any virus scanners that
then run over that file will fail to find a virus if it is present.

This is a problem, as the message would then be delivered to the real end
destination - where their MIME unpacker (e.g. Outlook) would correctly
unpack the file and activate the virus.

Can everyone affected please arrange to upgrade to maildrop-1.3.8
<URL:http://www.courier-mta.org/download.php> or better ASAP.
